Lincoln Tunnel Toll Gantry
About
Toll plazas mark the threshold between boroughs and budgets, a necessary pause for anyone crossing the Hudson by car. The Lincoln Tunnel Toll Gantry sits where Midtown’s grid meets the westbound lanes, handling thousands of daily commuters, delivery trucks, and weekend travelers without fanfare. These structures rarely earn affection, yet their efficiency keeps the city’s arteries flowing—one E-ZPass beep or cash transaction at a time.
You’ll find it at 510 10th Ave New York, NY 10018, just before the tunnel entrance where the skyline gives way to the river. Payment options include standard toll tags, Tolls by Mail, and exact change lanes, though exact change is increasingly rare. Questions about toll rates or account issues can be directed to the Port Authority’s customer service line. For directions or real-time traffic updates, the map at this link will guide you through the approach. Keep your transponder handy and your receipt if you need one—no one lingers at a toll booth longer than necessary.
